Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Angus beef
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 large avocado
- 1 small red onion
- 4 slices paleo-friendly cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 4 slices pickles
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground Angus beef with sea salt and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined, taking care not to overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal parts and form them into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Slice the tomato into thin rounds. Peel and slice the avocado, and finely slice the red onion. Set these aside for assembling the burgers.
Step 4
Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil and allow it to melt, coating the cooking surface.
Step 5
Place the burgers on the grill or skillet. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes until the desired doneness is reached, adding the paleo-friendly cheese slice on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Step 6
Remove the burger patties from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 7
To assemble the burgers, place a large romaine lettuce leaf on a plate as the base. Add the burger patty with melted cheese on top.
Step 8
Layer the sliced tomato, avocado, and red onion over the burger.
Step 9
Top with 1/2 tablespoon of dijon mustard and a pickle slice.
Step 10
Cover with another romaine lettuce leaf to complete the paleo bun, and serve immediately.
